Snowshoe / hiking trail - Bonvillard, the producers' trail

The producers' trail.

This circuit leaves from Granier and takes you through the forest via the small hamlet of Bonvillard, taking you to some of the local producers (you should make an appointment to visit them)

The trail starts in front of the Mairie (town hall).
You can come back either on the path that comes down under Prachanié refreshment bar and into the village, or on the road, passing the small chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Foyer.

Producers:
Thibault's beers, goats' cheese and Beaufort cheese at the tourist office.
Hugo's honey (honey available for purchase on the trail)
Carole's soaps and cosmetics made with mare's milk ("Les crinières de lait" stables)
Manon and Thimothé's cheeses and dairy products made with sheep's milk (farm in Bonvillard)

Founded in 1544, Bonvillard chapel is dedicated to St Jacques Le Majeur (St James the Greater), one of the apostles and the patron saint of pilgrims, and St Pantaléon, the patron saint of doctors and midwives. It is located in the small hamlet of Bonvillard where 24 families used to live in 1621. Its altarpiece dates from 1730.
A wooden statue of St James used to stand outside the church. This statue is now in the church in Granier following its restoration in 2023, along with the Virgin with the braided hair.
